1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

More than 100 million people around the world are exposed to arsenic in drinking water that exceeds the World Health Organization guideline level of 10 μg/L. Ingestion of water and food is the main route of human exposure to arsenic. Arsenic species excreted into urine serve as a useful biomarker of exposure and a potential marker of susceptibility, which requires speciation of arsenic in population studies. We report here the determination of arsenic species in 1873 urine samples from the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS) in Araihazar, Bangladesh. This double-blind research involved detection of inorganic arsenite (iAs
